Is it normal for a skinny female to sweat this much

If I'm sitting in class with my legs crossed, sweat will start dripping down my leg in streams. My shirt front gets soaked with sweat from my belly, my pants get soaked from my butt, it's so gross I know, but this just started around age 20. Also I used to be able to go every other day washing my hair, now suddenly at the beginning of this year it started getting greasy every day. I'm skinny at 5'8 and 130 pounds, so what gives?? IIN?

    Sounds like hyperhidrosis. The good news is that they have medicines and treatments now that help with it. Even laser treatments to prevent the sweating period. The bad news is that hyperhidrosis is also a symptom of other illnesses. It could be a major sign of certain types of cancers. For instance Hodgkins lymphoma, sweating a lot is one of the major symptoms. Also itching a lot as well. I would definitely go see a doctor to hopefully rule this out.

    Best of luck, <3 But go make an appointment asap please!

    You should get that checked out by a doctor.

    I would see a doctor , I am inclined more to believe these are just hot conditions . I don't have all the information I need but it could be a rare medical condition which causes perfuse sweating .
